The people in Maycomb County have plenty of tales to tell about Boo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird. Since the Radley family doesn't typically follow many of the unwritten rules that most of society follows like going to church on Sundays and keeping their doors and shutters open when the weather is nice, the family is often a topic of conversation. Boo is often to blame for certain misgivings or pitfalls in the community. For example, "When people’s azaleas froze in a cold snap, it was because he had breathed on them."
In chapter 1, Jem is educating Dill on the unfortunate qualities and characteristics of Boo Radley, and he has many tales of his own to share. For example, to explain why Boo never leaves the house, Jem believes that Boo is kept chained to his bed. Jem also shares that Boo has blood-stained hands because he eats raw cats and squirrels. In addition, Boo has, "a long jagged scar that ran across his face; what teeth he had were yellow and rotten; his eyes popped, and he drooled most of the time."
